This course provides a practical and tactical deep dive into the use of multiple legal entities—LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and trusts—to build resilient, compliant, and strategically layered asset protection systems. Learners will move beyond single-entity structures to understand how layering works, why it works, and how to prevent cross-contamination between entities that can destroy the protection.
Each week, participants will explore real-world structuring techniques used by attorneys, investors, and business owners to segregate risk, shield assets, and maintain operational integrity. The course bridges law, finance, and compliance, equipping learners to design and manage multi-entity structures that can withstand legal scrutiny and operate efficiently across jurisdictions.
